Above-ground pools in Acworth require the same 5-foot barrier and 5-foot setback from property lines as in-ground pools. Building permit required. Barrier must be installed before filling.
Acworth's pool regulations apply equally to above-ground pools. The required barrier must be at least 5 feet high — the pool wall may serve as the barrier if it meets height requirements and ladder access is secured with a self-latching gate when not in use. The pool and all decking must be set back at least 5 feet from any property line. A building permit is required for above-ground pool installation. The barrier must be fully installed before the pool is filled with water.
Unpermitted pools: removal or retroactive permit with double fees. Safety violations: immediate correction required. Fines $100 to $500.
